Attempting to archive a bunch of my old e-mails, I copied the Users>Home>Documents>"Microsoft User Data" folder to an external drive. I then pruned the original Entourage data set to a much smaller size. Thus, I was left with a 3 GB "archived" folder on an external drive, and a 200 MB working folder.
Everything has been going fine working from the 200 MB working folder on my internal drive. However, at this point I would like to retrieve one e-mail from the archived data. I copied the "Microsoft User Data" folder back onto my internal drive, and navigated to "Microsoft User Data" > Office 2008 Identities > Main Identity > Database. I then double click on this 3 GB file, but what opens seems to be my 200 MB working data set; I have no access to all of the old e-mails.
Thus, how do I open my old 3 GB data set? Once I've done this, I'll copy out the single e-mail I need, and then revert back to my current 200 MB working data set.
Thank you so much in advance for sharing your knowledge and expertise; much appreciated!
